Case of the shakes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quiver

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'case' is the first definition.
(quiver is a kind of case)

'the shakes' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for quiver that I've seen before include "Tremble - case for arrows" , "Receptacle in which archer keeps arrows" , "Tremble and shake, or receptacle for arrows" , "Arrow-holder; shake" , "Arrow case" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
